Snowshoe Hare Trail

Nice set of photos Greenthumb, thanks for sharing your day in the open air...

Open air at last. Thanks Janette. Happy Easter. :-)

Great photo with the tracks and the shadows.

Great photo GT :)

Thanks Gee, Avis and Tastey. I found it to be just perfect. Had to shoot.

How lovely Greenthumb. Sorry to be naive, but is the animal a hare, like a big rabbit.

Strange tracks for a four legged animal. Do they run upright ? Could it be a Lepus Yeti ? Great photo

Thanks for the comments, Pam and Hameryllis, this is a hare. Thats kinda missing in the caption. lol. Snowshoe hare. The back legs of rabbit tracks often are long and in a V like this. They hop and sit hop, and sit. Running, the track just gets more spread out. It would be hopping towards me in these tracks.

I can see it now GT. I thought that each print was made by one foot.That would have made it a gert biggun.

That would be a normal moose print, except they would have been deep in the snow. Definately would have been a big hare. :-)

Your picture remind me a poem from Marie Summers..

"Maples
in the morning
sunlight cast long shadows
upon the snow like a roadmap
of limbs."

Oh what lovely words, Aleyna! :-) It was a perfect setting for a photo, got there just in time. :-) Thank you for adding a thoughtful caption. :-)
